Couple Robin Padilla and Mariel Rodriguez are worthy of emulation.
If celebrities were going gaga on how to spend Valentine’s day in posh dinner dates, kakaiba ang mag-asawa. Mas pinili nila ang magbigay ng tulong sa mga civilian casualties sa Mamasapano, Maguindanao.
“Yesterday Robin asked me, ‘Game ka ba sa kakaibang valentines?’ Without asking what it was I immediately said ‘game!’ Later on I found out I was going to Mamasapano to visit the civilian casualties of the war honestly I was a bit scared that it might not be safe then I thought Robin would never put my life in danger so today we took an early flight to General Santos City and headed to Mamasapano.
“I saw a lot of men holding long guns (terrified me to tell you the truth), I was a few meters away from the ‘battlefield’ and most of all I saw the smiles on the faces of the civilians who felt special that we visited them and chose to spend valentines day with them…that was priceless.
I didn’t get flowers for valentines but instead I got this experience for the soul. #RealHeartsDay,” tweet ni Mariel. It was indeed the most memorable Valentine’s Day with the couple, and the most inspiring celebration, too!!!
